Comment:

Alejandro Escovedo's got a roots-rock rep your average Americana Joe would trade his battered Telecaster for; when he fell deathly ill, a 2004 benefit album included everyone from Steve Earle to Lucinda Williams. But he's also the guy who opened up for the Sex Pistols in his punk days, got downright arty with John Cale producing, and spat out savage, roughneck rock both on his own and with bands like the True Believers and Buick MacKane. Every side of Escovedo comes into razor-sharp focus right here: the country-lovin' cow-punk, the inward-looking song-poet, the leather-lunged rock 'n' roll animal — they [i]all[/i] come alive in songs swiped from every corner of the Escovedo archives.
